    Joe Pigford has his 11th fight tomorrow

    He has turned into quite a banger though he needs to be more active

    He has brought big crowds from Southampton to London and I suspect he will bring a fair few to Cardiff

    Who do you think will go the furthest amongst the FW prospects - Pigford, Yarde, Romao, Boy Jones etc

    I haven't seen much of Pigford tbh. Yarde though strikes me as technically very gifted for a guy with a very limited amateur background. Providing he can take a punch I think he will go far although I feel he should be competing as a SMW.

    Romaeo and Jones don't impress me.

    Hahaha Yarde is a novice bum. Hes been matched extremely soft.. look at the losing records of the guys hes faced. Im not impressed with him at all, he clearly doesn't have much amateur pedigree.

    I know his opponents have been poor, I made a thread about it recently:

    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?p=18013279

    Doesn't alter the fact that he's looked technically quite good. Why don't you expand on your post and actually point out his technical flaws and parts where he has gone wrong in fights?

    I won't hold my breath.

    I would like Pigford & Co to aim for Area titles - Ideal way to build up the young prospects better than Intercontinental or WBO European

    I really don't understand how you can think Yarde is that bad. He's ko'd all but one of his opponents even if they are bums he's only had 7 pro fights and 11 amateur fights, good going i'd say

    I like domestic level bangers, if he has defensive skills he could reach british level or fringe euro.

    Just watched Pigford and he has literally 0 defence and was constantly getting caught with daft shots. Good to watch but I reckon he'll get stopped as his opposition gets slightly better
